It blows and I’ll be cheering for the Capitals to lose every game but I’m guessing we’ll see some identical replacement sites pop up before the summer is over.

I was wondering: is any part of what they do proprietary? I don't see how. The information isn't. The general way it's presented isn't. You'd think a few people could build a similar database and website fairly easily. But I don't really know anything about copyright law.

Why do you guys want to trade Hoglander? He's showing he can learn a rigid system with Tocchet and he's going to be hitting his prime. Hoglander can score goals and he hasnt even fully developed yet. Lots to untap there this is the worst possible time to give up this player. Hoglander or Lekkerimaki for Mikael Granlund? Truly awful.

I don’t want to trade him—but his counting stats mean that his next contract is probably going to be more than the Canucks can afford to pay him.

It’s also worrisome that several coaches have chosen not to play him at critical times during the season. I suspect that Vancouver management would rather trade him than sign a player that they perceive as an awkward fit.

Rutgers would look extremely nice on EPs wing, and with Ehlers wanting out too, I could see a signed fast pker in mik being atleast somewhat attractive to the jets specifically.

Hard to see what we could add to make it worthwhile for wpg though, maybe Podkolzin, but not enough and we just signed him so seems less likely.

They may like garland too for similar contract reasons, but that's ~10M combined, also seems less likely and we'd have to take Ehlers.
(Rather keep Garland [+Joshua+Teddy])

I was wondering how the Senators are going to get out of their Korpisalo problem and didn't even think about a buyout. Surprisingly buyout friendly with the big drawback being it would be dead money for 8 years.

24-25: 0.33m
25-26: 0.83m
26-27: 1.83m
27-28: 2.33m
28-32: 1.33m (4 seasons worth)

Very curious if they end up going this route.

You are getting ahead of yourself.

Right now he's 1.1M and will be pushing for 20 goals. He's young and will probably keep improving and rounding out his game.

He's an RFA and if his contract demands get too pricey we can find a trade down the road. At the moment it makes no sense to offload a cheap contract that is producing.

The rumour about wanting to rebrand to black and yellow because they feel green and blue isnt inspiring to the players is interesting. I definitely love the skate jerseys, but I actually find that black jerseys are uninspiring and they all end up looking the same in general. And there is a lean towards more black jerseys in the NHL right now.

The blue and green are actually colours that represent the region and if they feel the current is uninspiring, there's a lot to work with to do something strong that is also representative of Vancouver and BC.

I always thought the classic green blue white jersey with totem orca logo looks quite wicked.

A sentiment apparently not shared by many. Puzzling.

You’re correct. It’s great.

I love that you took a picture of your computer screen.

Which rumor is this? First I’ve heard it.

No way the mat black skate is my favorite. Once they eliminated the white in the skate it just looks so much better. Orange, black and yellow Canuck jerseys have always been labeled as the loser years, but 94 was by far my favorite Canuck year as a fan, and to bring these iconic jerseys back makes me pumped.

I like the blue and green stick in rink aswell, but not like the black, orange and yellow. Those just look mean.

A compliment from the vault dweller is worth its weight in Jets.

I am not sure if it’s a rumour but I heard the discussion. I think Linden was asked about it as well.

It was a joke "rumor" from this about recreating the Penguins, including the colors:

Boring rumors this week.

Seawateronice's rumor mill:
-Guentzel could be coming here. Dubas has recieved countless calls from JR and Allvin on Crosby, Malkin and Letang.
-JR and Allvin have shown strong interest in Zucker and Sprong
-Allvin may try and trade for Dumoulin
-Strong efforts are being made for a yellow and black rebrand. Allvin seems to think the blue/green scheme doesn't inspire confidence.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

The way that's worded could literally be used for any scenario with any team(s) and player(s).

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

i want Toffoli and P.Kane, they should be relatively cheap and they have stanley cup final experience which would calm the team down during the playoffs. Who cares if Kane is a jerk?

Yup! This person seems so sure of themselves and all the comments act like it's a confirmation. I've read it 10 times and I keep thinking I'm taking crazy pills.

Was in one of the reports a few pages back, interview with Allvin or something

All jokes aside about jerseys, I do believe there is a psychology to wearing black jerseys as colors in perception. I believe I saw this in a 30 in 30 about the raiders and their black colors. Could be wrong though

 

[HairyKneel]

The puking whale has to go. The skate withe the 91-95 colors is the best version of this team which didn't back up and grab their ankles when the games got angry.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Just change the jersey colours to rainbow and wear them with Pride.

Hasn’t resulted in any actual success, though.
